Nanaimo Bars

There are a lot of different recipes for making Nanaimo Bars, this is the one I like the most. These non-baked, 3 layer bars are delicious! So I would recommend that you all go to the kitchen and make them NOW…yes I said NOW! You wont regret it AT ALL!

Let’s get started

Ingredients:

(first layer)

1/2 cup unsalted butter (110 g)

1/4 cup granulated white sugar (50 g)

1/3 gram unsweetened cocoa (30 g)

1 large egg

1 tsp vanilla extract

2 cups digestive cookies crumbs (200 g) or graham crackers

1 cup coconut (65 g)

1/2 cup pecans (50 g) – I consider them optional since the bars come out great even without the pecans, so up to you!

(second layer)

1/4 cup unsalted butter (56 g)

2-3 tbsp milk (or cream)

2 tbsp vanilla custard powder

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

2 cups powdered sugar (230 g)

(top layer)

115 g semi sweet chocolate

1 tbsp unsalted butter (14 g)

Let’s start from the bottom layer
